The PA Public Utility Commission's 2025 AEPS annual report reveals $702 million in total compliance costs, Tier II prices at $26.92/MWh, and a looming supply shortfall. Here's what building owners and project developers need to know.
Pennsylvania's AEPS requires electricity suppliers to procure RECs from Tier II resources including energy efficiency and CHP. With rising REC values and in-state requirements, Tier II credits offer significant new revenue streams for businesses.
Follow the data journey from circuit-level energy meters through M&V analysis to PJM-GATS certification and REC monetization. A step-by-step look at how monitoring powers the REC pipeline.
Energy savings don't last forever without oversight. Learn how continuous monitoring detects performance drift, preserves REC generation, and ensures your efficiency investments deliver full lifetime value.
When a facility implements LED, HVAC, and VFD upgrades simultaneously, how do you attribute savings to each measure? Submetering strategies provide the answer — and unlock maximum REC value.
Accurate measurement and verification (M&V) is the foundation of every successful REC application. Learn how modern energy monitoring systems collect the data you need to maximize rebate recovery and Tier II REC revenue.
Planning a renovation? Here's how to structure your project timeline, technology selection, and application strategy to maximize utility rebates, tax deductions, and REC revenue.
Compressed air is typically 20 to 30 percent of an industrial facility's electricity load, and a quarter to a third of it is wasted. This model works through what a system upgrade would save and what those savings produce in Tier II AECs.
From advanced LED controls to VRF heat pumps and building automation, these are the technologies utilities are paying building owners to install — and the rebate values attached to each.
Utility rebate programs are evolving fast. From IRA-driven funding boosts to stricter efficiency mandates, here's a nationwide look at where incentives are headed and how to capture maximum value.
AEC volume equals what the certified meter records and reports to GATS. Meter placement, parasitic load, and reporting discipline determine the number.
Qualification under PA AEPS turns on five things: the statutory standard, system size, location, fuel, and who owns the environmental attributes. Here is what each requires.
